Likud on Thursday called on Central Elections Committee chair Justice Hanan Solberg to cancel his ruling barring party representatives from using apps to report voter turnout at polling stations, calling the decision erroneous, as reported by N12 journalist Amit Segal. The party earlier today vowed to fight the ruling by all legal means.
Likud escalated its response Thursday to the Central Elections Committee chairman's ruling, directly calling on Justice Hanan Solberg to rescind his decision barring party representatives from using apps to report who has voted. The party's statement, reported by N12 journalist Amit Segal, labeled the ruling 'erroneous' and demanded its cancellation.
The demand follows a statement earlier Thursday by Likud spokesman Guy Levi, who accused the judiciary of a pattern of hostility and vowed to fight the decision 'by all legal means.' Levi warned that continued concessions would lead to a poor election outcome.
Solberg's initial ruling, issued Tuesday, banned party representatives from using voter-turnout incentive apps, citing privacy concerns. The Zioneer reported Tuesday that Likud was considering a High Court petition against the ban.
